Introduction Received 12 JUL 2018 fi Accepted 6 SEP 2018 Curiosity Rover provided the rst in situ observations and sediment analysis of Martian dunes while Accepted article online 11 SEP 2018 traversing the Bagnold Dune Field toward Aeolis Mons in Gale Crater (Figure S1). Images taken by Curiosity of the Namib dune slipface revealed a detailed record of grainflows, ripple formation, and tensional cracks (Cornwall, Bourke, et al., 2018; Ewing et al., 2017), similar to terrestrial dunes (Cornwall, Jackson, et al., 2018). The Bagnold dune field is active (Silvestro et al., 2013) but Curiosity visited the dunes during late autumn, a time of decreased eolian activity with little sediment movement (Bridges et al., 2017). The Martian atmospheric density and gravity are much lower than Earth, and therefore, wind speeds need to be 7 times greater to initiate grain saltation. However, once a grain is in motion, it can stay mobilized at a lower shear stress (Greeley et al., 1980; Greeley & Iversen, 1985; Kok, 2010a, 2010b; Kok et al., 2012; Kok & Renno, 2009). Based on terrestrial studies, grainflow formation requires an accumulation of sediment from grainfall, resulting in localized over-steepening, destabilization, and subsequent slope failure (e.g., Allen, 1970; Anderson, 1988; Hunter, 1985; McDonald & Anderson, 1995; Sutton et al., 2013).

Fenton & Richardson, 2001; Greeley et al., 1993; Haberle et al., 1993; Hourdin & Forget, 1995; Leovy & CORNWALL ET AL. 1 Geophysical Research Letters 10.1029/2018GL079598 Mintz, 1969; Lee & Thomas, 1995; Richardson et al., 2007). However, dunes are heavily influenced by local wind patterns, unresolved by general circulation models, that shape morphology and control sediment trans- port (e.g., Fenton et al., 2005; Greeley et al., 1993, 2006; Hayward et al., 2007, 2008, 2009). Mesoscale climate models, with a resolution of hundreds of meters, have achieved a more detailed study of local wind regimes, providing a regional context of short-timescale wind flow variability but are better suited for dune field airflow analysis (e.g., Fenton et al., 2005; Hobbs et al., 2010; Newman et al., 2017; Pla-Garcia et al., 2016; Rafkin et al., 2001, 2016; Richardson et al., 2007; Spiga & Forget, 2009; Toigo & Richardson, 2002; Tyler et al., 2002). Mesoscale models with bedform morphology analysis of the Bagnold Dune Field revealed a bimodal wind regime influenced by the crater floor topography with primary winds from the NW and secondary winds from the NE (Bridges et al., 2017; Day & Kocurek, 2016; Hobbs et al., 2010; Newman et al., 2017; Silvestro et al., 2013, 2016). Unfortunately, with model resolutions of ~500 m, forcing mechanisms that drive dune migration cannot be studied in full detail (Newman et al., 2017; Pla-Garcia et al., 2016; Rafkin et al., 2016), preventing a more comprehensive understanding of eolian processes operat- ing in Gale Crater. Analysis of eolian morphodynamics of individual dunes requires a spatial scale smaller than the dimensions of the dune to properly assess how local wind patterns affect eolian processes. Local topography can signifi- cantly influence wind speed and direction, thereby also affecting surface shear stress and enabling sediment transport during seasons of low magnitude winds. Eolian 2-D ripple mapping studies can offer some insights into surface airflow and sediment flux, but in areas absent of ripples, there is no information on airflow direc- tion or magnitude modification, which can significantly impact dune morphology and create localized areas of greater surface shear stress. In addition, knowledge of detailed 3-D flow structures and turbulence is unat- tainable using mesoscale models or ripple mapping techniques. Recent efforts have employed 3-D dune length scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling with a resolution <5 m to investigate these smaller airflow patterns and how they influence dune morphology and sediment transport (Jackson et al., 2015). This study uses a dune length scale CFD model with a High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the Namib dune at a 1-m horizontal resolution, which adequately resolves subdune scale bedforms and provides a more com- prehensive investigation of complex airflow patterns (Jackson et al., 2015). Seasonal results of dune length scale airflow modeling reveal complex, turbulent, and steered airflow on the dune slipface as well as in the immediate vicinity of the dune. An investigation of how these complex seasonal flow patterns may affect grainflow activity on the slipface and overall dune migration is presented for the Namib dune (À4.686°N, 222.364°W) using Mars Science Laboratory’s (MSL) Curiosity Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) data (S2), a HiRISE DEM (S3), and the open source CFD software OpenFOAM (S4) to simulate the local Martian wind regime. 2. Results The local wind regime in Gale Crater is complex, with a wide range of wind directions and magnitudes during a single Mars year (MY; Figure S1). REMS data in this study include MY 32 summer and MY 33 autumn, winter, and spring and indicates that the greatest magnitude near-surface winds predominantly originated from the north, agreeing with dune orientation and migration to the south. Lesser magnitude winds also occurred, and it appears that southerly winds may also have an impact on dune morphology and slipface processes. 2.1. Seasonal Patterns 2.1.1. Spring (Ls 180°) Higher magnitude winds occurred early in the season, between Martian solar days ~1,400 and 1,430 and ori- ginated from the north (Figure 1) with an average wind velocity of 9.84 m/s (Table S4). The more predominant but lesser magnitude winds during the spring varied between east, southeast, and southwest (Figure 1). These secondary winds had an average wind speed of 7.70 m/s (Table S4). High amounts of surface shear stress were present in most areas of the stoss slope during primary winds and À À greatest along the dune brink with a maximum value of 0.027 kg · m 1 ·s 2 with near-surface winds reaching approximately 17 m/s (Figures 2 and S6).

    166 Chapter 4 AEOLIAN PROCESSES IN PROCTOR CRATER ON MARS: 2. MESOSCALE MODELING OF DUNE-FORMING WINDS Lori K. Fenton and Mark I. Richardson Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California Anthony D. Toigo Center for Radiophysics and Space Research, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York Abstract. Both atmospheric modeling and spacecraft imagery of Mars are now of sufficient quality that the two can be used in conjunction to acquire an understanding of regional- and local-scale aeolian processes on Mars. We apply a mesoscale atmospheric model adapted for use on Mars to Proctor Crater, a 150 km diameter crater in the southern highlands. Proctor Crater contains numerous aeolian features that indicate wind direction, including a large dark dunefield with reversing transverse and star dunes containing three different slipface orientations, small and older bright duneforms that are most likely transverse granule ripples, and seasonally erased dust devil tracks. Results from model runs spanning an entire year with a horizontal grid spacing of 10 km predict winds aligned with two of the three dune slipfaces as well as spring and summer winds matching the dust devil track orientations. The primary (most prevalent) dune slipface direction corresponds to a fall and winter westerly wind created by geostrophic forces. The tertiary dune slipface direction is caused by spring and summer evening katabatic flows down the eastern rim of the crater, influencing only the eastern portion of the crater floor. The dunes are trapped in 167 the crater because the tertiary winds, enhanced by topography, counter transport from the oppositely oriented primary winds, which originally carried sand into the crater.

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • The Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera: Interplanetary Cruise Through Primary Mission
    p. 1 The Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera: Interplanetary Cruise through Primary Mission Michael C. Malin and Kenneth S. Edgett Malin Space Science Systems P.O. Box 910148 San Diego CA 92130-0148 (note to JGR: please do not publish e-mail addresses) ABSTRACT More than three years of high resolution (1.5 to 20 m/pixel) photographic observations of the surface of Mars have dramatically changed our view of that planet. Among the most important observations and interpretations derived therefrom are that much of Mars, at least to depths of several kilometers, is layered; that substantial portions of the planet have experienced burial and subsequent exhumation; that layered and massive units, many kilometers thick, appear to reflect an ancient period of large- scale erosion and deposition within what are now the ancient heavily cratered regions of Mars; and that processes previously unsuspected, including gully-forming fluid action and burial and exhumation of large tracts of land, have operated within near- contemporary times. These and many other attributes of the planet argue for a complex geology and complicated history. INTRODUCTION Successive improvements in image quality or resolution are often accompanied by new and important insights into planetary geology that would not otherwise be attained. From the variety of landforms and processes observed from previous missions to the planet Mars, it has long been anticipated that understanding of Mars would greatly benefit from increases in image spatial resolution. p. 2 The Mars Observer Camera (MOC) was initially selected for flight aboard the Mars Observer (MO) spacecraft [Malin et al., 1991, 1992].
